Main

Kaare D. Tranæs

I switched from Copenhagen Business School to study metabolism and human biology. During my master’s I discovered the concept of Reproducible Research and became obsessed with developing my statistical data analysis and programming skills, eventually receiving a PhD position in the computational microbiome group at COPSAC. My passions are biology and software, and I dream of a career that allows me to combine the two, building tools for automation and reproducibility within the life sciences.
